Hi,
     first of all, I must say I'm not an expert about e-security....

My problem is:
     We must store very big documents for about 10 years and our customer
asked us to apply a timestamp over every document.

     I've searched over the internet, and it seems that the timestamp on a
non-signed document is pretty useless.
     Is this true?

     Anyway, if I sign the document, then, what is best:

          1) I sign the document, I timestamp the document and then I
create a PKCS#7 containing all them.
              Where should I put the timestamp?
          2) I sign the document, I create a PKCS#7 and then I timestamp
the PKCS#7 (I save it on an external file)
          3) I am completely wrong and I have to do something completely
different?

Many thanks in advance,
     Massimiliano Ziccardi
